About Irvin Vazquez

I’m an experienced Middle Office Operations Manager at HedgeServ, a leading hedge fund administrator. I manage and oversee a high-performing team responsible for delivering critical operational support to a diverse range of hedge fund clients — from long/short equity funds to large macro asset managers.I bring a strong track record in leading middle office functions including trade capture, reconciliations, portfolio valuations, pricing, and operational risk management. While I began my career deeply hands-on across these areas, I now leverage that experience to manage workflows, guide my team, and implement strategic improvements that enhance accuracy, efficiency, and client satisfaction.In my current role, I: • Oversee all aspects of middle office operations, ensuring accurate trade processing, reporting, and daily reconciliations across multiple asset classes • Manage trade flows and settlement with prime brokers, FCMs, custodians, and vendors • Build and implement operational controls that proactively reduce risk and increase transparency • Serve as the primary point of contact for clients and internal stakeholders, providing guidance and support on portfolio activity, P&L, reporting, and custom operational solutions • Drive innovation in workflows and reporting processes to meet evolving client and regulatory demandsMy background includes direct experience with products such as IRS, FX, TRS, equities, fixed income, CDS/CDX, futures, options, bank loans, private equity, and other OTC derivatives. I’ve worked extensively with platforms like MarkitWire, CTM, Traiana, ICE, and MTM, and bring a detailed understanding of post-trade processes and T+1 reconciliations.Prior to HedgeServ, I worked on JPMorgan’s Non-USD Rates and FX trading floor, where I supported front-to-back reconciliation, trade affirmation, and contributed to a successful migration of the desk’s risk management system. My financial career began in JPM’s eCommerce FX team, onboarding institutional clients and running platform demos—all while completing my degree full-time.I thrive in fast-paced, client-facing environments, and I’m passionate about building operational teams that are resilient, forward-thinking, and solutions-driven. As a manager, my focus is always on empowering my team, reducing operational risk, and driving value through smart, scalable processes
